ExcelPipe is a mass search and replace tool designed to ease the editing of hundreds or thousands of spreadsheets when they all need changing, such as changing an organization's phone number, address, web site, CEO etc.
ExcelPipe takes ALL the hard work out of replacing text across multiple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Just imagine - next time your organization changes its phone number, address, web site or CEO - just run ExcelPipe across your file server or website to fix all affected spreadsheets in one hit. Translators can use ExcelPipe's grid to define multiple search/replace pairs.
Use it for...
Standardizing corporate name changes such as your organization's phone number, address, web site or CEO
Performing server consolidations where document links need updating
Server renaming or replacement where document links need updating
Updating documents to use Microsoft Namespace Server mappings
Changing part numbers or SKUs across multiple files
Translating documents
and much more.

License Options
Single User License
May either be used by one person who uses the software exclusively on one or more non-server class computers, or installed onto a single non-server class computer that is used non-simultaneously by multiple people. If the software is installed onto multiple non-server class computers and more people than the original licensee will use the software, each additional user must obtain a license for themselves. If you have both a Desktop and Laptop computer, you may install ONE (1) copy on each computer provided there is no chance of both being used at the same time.
Server License
May be installed on ONE (1) server class computer ONLY (such as a database server or web server). It is NOT where the software is used as a file server to provide access to multiple users - for this you need multiple Single User Licenses.
Floating License
A floating license allows multiple users to share use of an application.
With a floating license, if one user is using the software, all other users will be rejected with a warning message. When the user finishes using the software, another user can begin using it.
The floating license can be configured for 1 or more simultaneous users. Access is controlled by a license server - which monitors active licenses and resets them when the software closes (or even when the computer is rebooted or crashes).
Site License
May be installed on up to 200 computers of server class and non-server class at one site only.
